Not every accident caused by the Toronto area’s snow day happened on the streets.

The City of Vaughan, Ont., suspended its official Twitter account on Friday after a strongly-worded missive was sent out amid a heavy snowfall across southern Ontario.

That is a fancy way of saying someone dropped an f-bomb on the city’s Twitter feed.

The offending tweet was posted shortly after 7:30 a.m. and wasn’t up for long before social media users started asking questions.

The post reads:

Everyone on my street has double gararges...who are these f---nuts who don’t put their car in the garage when we get 2 feet of snow? #dumb

Gary Williams, Vaughan’s director of corporate communications, told the Toronto Starthey were very sorry for the incident. He said the account would remain suspended pending an investigation.

Perplexingly, he suggested the account may have been hacked.

Those familiar with Twitter, however, were in near consensus about what they believed had happened. Official Twitter accounts are usually operated by one or more employees. And on occasion, those people accidentally post messages meant for their personal account on the work account.

We shall await the results of the investigation before opining further on the subject. But until then, everyone stay safe in the snow.

And you fun nuts in Vaughan better figure out how to park properly. Or there will be hell to pay.

The @city_of_vaughan Twitter just tells it like it is. Don't like it? Move to Markham where they have a safe twitter feed.
